You step onto the Christmas Steps and the city narrows: steep stone, leaning timber frames and the muted scrape of footsteps. Ahead, the Harbourside opens—water catching clouds, cranes and warehouses watching like old merchants. The audio guide pings gently in your ear and you move at your own rhythm, pausing where a plaque, pub or statue asks for attention.
